DTE Detox & Recovery Guide: Breaking Free from 7-OH Dependency

Hey there,

If you landed here, chances are you’re struggling with something many others are quietly battling too: dependency on 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) shots like Roxy, 7OHMZ, and others flooding stores across the U.S. These ultra-concentrated products might look like kratom, but they hit your system more like a pharmaceutical opioid — and they’ve created a wave of addiction that’s leaving a lot of people stuck, sick, and desperate for a way out.

We’re Down to Earth Botanicals, and we’re here to help.

We created this guide for one reason: to give you a realistic path to escape the grip of 7-OH — whether you want to transition to traditional kratom, taper down using a mitragynine-based extract, or get off everything entirely.

Why 7-OH Is So Different (and So Addictive)

7-OH isn’t just “strong kratom.” It’s a lab-converted alkaloid that binds to your opioid receptors far harder than anything in natural kratom. Studies show it can be 5 to 20 times stronger than mitragynine (kratom’s main active compound). That’s why the withdrawals from 7-OH feel so much worse.

People report:

• Tremors and restless legs

• Nausea, vomiting, and GI issues

• Intense cravings and mood crashes

• Insomnia and extreme anxiety

In short, it hijacks your brain the same way synthetic opioids do.

Our Philosophy: Harm Reduction Over Cold Turkey

Our goal isn’t to shame, scare, or push a “just quit” mentality. We’ve helped people across the country transition from 7-OH dependency to:

• Controlled use of traditional kratom leaf (1.4–2.2% mitragynine)

• Tapering with our Solar Flare liquid shots (72% mit, 95% total alkaloids)

• Complete detox from all alkaloids — if that’s your goal

How Our Taper Plan Works

We’ve designed a simple, flexible program based on what we’ve seen work:

1. Stabilize – First, we help you switch off 7-OH without sending your body into shock. This might involve:

• Replacing 7-OH shots with Solar Flare (standardized mitragynine)

• Calculating mitragynine equivalency based on your 7-OH use

• Holding that dose for a few days to get your bearings

2. Transition – After you’re stable, we slowly reduce your mitragynine intake using:

• Smaller Solar Flare doses or diluted shots

• Gradually introducing traditional kratom powder

• Adjusting based on how your body reacts

3. Taper – Once you’re on powder only, we help you step down your total grams per day using:

• A schedule (we offer templates)

• Rotating strains (greens for energy, reds for chill)

• Optional support tools (like magnesium, L-theanine, etc.)

4. Quit or Maintain – Some people stop kratom entirely. Others stabilize at a manageable 3–5g/day. Either way, you’re out of the 7-OH trap — and that’s the win.

Tools to Help You

We’re actively building out:

• A calculator to help convert extract to powder dosages

• Custom taper planners

• Withdrawal symptom checklists

• Product bundles (“Recovery Pack,” “Post-7 Reset”) to support you at each phase

Everything we make is designed with one goal: giving you options.

Support You Can Count On

We’re not just a kratom brand — we’re people who care about the plant, the culture, and the customers. If you need help, reach out. We’ve also got a Discord community where people share their stories and support each other through the process.

You don’t have to do this alone.
